The One Coffee
19 AprThe One Coffee to Have in Shoreditch
Shoreditch has a roastery on nearly every block. When that's the baseline, the useful question isn't who roasts their own beans; it's who's doing something…
"Ozone roasts in Stafford and serves the results here: rotating single-origin filters, seasonal batch brew, and tasting notes that tell you what you're actually drinking. The London address for a roastery that built its reputation on the beans."

The room looks borrowed from a Shoreditch tattoo parlour. The espresso is as committed as the aesthetic, which is saying something.
Kiss the Hippo runs its own roastery and this Shoreditch branch is where you taste the full picture. Rotating single-origin lots on both espresso and filter, baristas who know what's in the hopper and why.
Flying Horse roasts their own beans in Hackney and pours them in Shoreditch, which is as close to the source as you'll get in this corner of the city. Come for the single origins.
